She worked for a portrait and wedding studio in New York as an assistant. Then she went onto further her education at Rhode Island School of Photography. In 1976 she graduated second in her class which gave her the opportunity to land a sought after job in a well-known studio in Salem, M A. In 1979, she made the decision to open her own place in Plymouth, MA. The studio has grown to be one of the most respected and popular studios on the south shore. The creative flair of a “Nancy Green Portrait or Wedding Album” is distinctively apparent. Her reputation was built by customer satisfaction in her photographic work and the customer service she and her staff provide. Nancy has achieved many awards for her photography over the years, such as The Hallmark Portrait Award, Kodak Gallery, Fuji M asterpiece and several Court of Honors. In 1996, she earned her M aster of Photography from PPA. Her photographs are published in the PPA Loan Collection books. She has lectured in many states on all aspects of her photography and business. All this experience doesn’t mean she is stuck in routine. Nancy is known as an innovator, someone who changes with the times and even sets the trends herself. Every personality can create their own story and Nancy is there to read the story and translate it to film. Her technical expertise and creative techniques make for an incredible combination. www.nancygreen.com 8 ● The Maine Photographer ● January 2011 DON CHICK How to Become a Confident Studio Photographer Come and learn to see light as you never have before.

In this day of Digital Photography you have to be a better marketer! Even the best photographer in the world will go broke without a steady flow of new customers. In today’s economy its NOT how much you know about photography - its how much you know about marketing. You can fight it and go broke or you can accept it and make lots of money. Sometimes the light outside is good, sometime it is not. So what do you do: Forget the shot? Do the shot with bad light? Try to add light with a reflector? M any times a reflector won’t work. You can easily add flash, both on camera and off, save the shot and make it look NATURAL! In this program, we will cover these topics & more! Besides being an excellent photographer, Doug Box, M .Photog.Cr., is a dynamic speaker and has presented in seminars and conventions in 47 states, England, Scotland, Wales, Canada and M exico. He was also chosen to teach at the International Wedding Institute by Hasselblad University. His articles and images have graced the pages of most professional photographic publications.
